National Pet Month
|
|
|
|
May is National Pet Month, so we're sharing recommendations from staff pets (and their humans).

Elie was named after T.S. Eliot because she is a practical cat. Because she often asks "Do I dare disturb?" and then knocks things over. And because she is often "Distracted from distraction by distraction." Here Elie is enjoying Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
